I started to have stinky issues after 40, and after much trial and errors I found a combo of a fungal issue and diet. Once I changed diet (got way down on fatty acids) and an aggessive soap with lots of borax and strong apple cider vinegar mixed with black tea leaves and ground mint, my issues went away! No more stinkboot or smelly pits!
I also started wearing moisture wicking under clothing which draws the sweat and prevents bacterial growth! I also went back to my Mil. Spec 2 layer sock system, a nylon/spandex type base layer sock and a wool blend outer "Boot sock" set up! Really works well for me!

Awaken Cold Iron, Awaken!

You may talk o’ gin and beer
When you’re quartered safe out ’ere,
An’ you’re sent to penny-fights an’ Aldershot it;
But when it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water,
An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots of ’im that’s got it.

General cleanliness will help keep the worst at bay and why knowing how to make soap is so important.

There is a small business that makes organic soap and they have an all over bar that I have used for a while. Good as a shampoo and body soap. I'm out now but looking to get some more. As the haircut gets shorter, the "shampoo" factor is less important though.

Dunerunner's choice is by far the best unscented natural and long lasting if used like a bar of soap while your damp you can "treat all your areas it is Mineral salt, you can find it as a block or shape like a soap bar or round. like a deodorant stick. Eliminate scents and can be used over the body non toxic no scent kills bacteria lasts for a long long time is Potassium alum mineral salt wet it rub it on allow to dry. today people that are concerned with chemicals and alumina chlorhydrate some think it could be related to Alzheimers are using this natural method of odor control. this also keeps deodorant scent from clashing with cologne or perfume.
So you do not smell like Hai karate or whatever you normally use as after shave.

I always have buckets of Glycerin sitting around, so making my own isn' that big a chore really. We stopped on our road trip and scooped up a couple buckets of Borax along side to road, we should be set for a while! Lol. Also scored a bunch of fine sulfer for the Holy Black, so while I'm mixing Powder, I will make extra char and add to the soap! Now to find Salt Peter, and more lead!

First thought I had when I saw your alcohol as a BO prep was so you could drink it and not care how bad you smelled or what anyone else smelled like. Works for making people look better, so why not smell better???

In the 1940,s the hospitals didn't have showers or baths in the individual rooms, instead you were given a spit bath with a washcloth wet with rubbing alcohol at least once a day and more often if you had a fever. Worked very well and was done both for cleaning and disinfectant. Alcohol, tincture of green soap, vinegar, carbolic acid, bleach, sun light, lye soap with an excess of lye, a dilute solution of lye, all were used to minimize the danger of infection and if things go bad, we will all be doing them again. Had to prevent infections as there were no "magic" drugs to fight them. Didn't always work, but probably a lot better than we do today. Grand mother was a RN and often delivered babies. They got a new mattress, washed and boiled all the sheets,etc and ironed them with hot irons, repainted the rooms and washed all the wood work with a carbolic acid solution, no one was allowed in during the birthing process etc. She said that in her lifetime, born in 1873, such practices cut maternal deaths caused by infection by a large percentage. BO may bother you, but infection, parasites, etc, can kill you.
